November 18, 2021 Unvaccinated people will be excluded from public life. This emerges from the State-Regions conference in Germany which has also established "thresholds" beyond which "tougher measures" are used. This was explained by Angela Merkel in Berlin, confirming the indiscretions, which emerged during the state-regions summit, on the extension of the 2G model which partially excludes the unvaccinated from public life
The "2G" rule will take effect throughout Germany (access only to vaccinated people -Geimpft and to those who are cured -Genesen- from Covid) "every time the hospitalization threshold 3 is exceeded". This is what Angela Merkel said in the press conference at the end of the summit with the Laender governors. "We have defined hospitalization thresholds after which to implement a whole catalog of measures", added the Chancellor, who spoke of a "dramatic situation". According to the new regulation, Merkel says, if the incidence of hospitalization of Covid patients in a given Land exceeds 3, rule 2 is triggered. "If, on the other hand, index 6 is exceeded, the" 2G + "rule is triggered,which also requires vaccinated people and those recovered from Covid to undergo a swab "to access public spaces.
Not only that: "Once the threshold 9 has been exceeded", the chancellor said, "the decision-making of the individual regional parliaments is triggered, which will have to implement all possible tools, including strong restrictions on social contacts": in other words, including lockdowns .
